SOC Ambassadors

The SOC Ambassadors comprise a select group of current undergraduate students in the School of Communication (SOC) who support and promote the excellence of the school for both current and prospective students.

SOC Ambassadors work as a recruitment team, sharing personal experiences and insights with prospective students; serve as peer mentors for new first year and transfer students to aid in their successful transition to American University and the School of Communication; and build community by planning events and activities that bring together all students at the School of Communication at prospective student meetings, and give tours of our facilities to prospective students and families, among many other activities.

Recruitment for the SOC Ambassador team takes place once per year, during the fall semester. To apply during the next application cycle, please fill out the application and submit it along with your resume and the names of two references to the SOC Ambassadors office at
SOCambassadors@american.edu with the subject line "SOC Ambassador Application."

SOC Week

SOC Week 2018 will take place February 26 through March 2

SOC Week is an annual tradition held during the spring semester that gathers the School of Communication as a community in a spirit of celebration, education, and growth. SOC Ambassadors lead the coordination of a week filled with events and activities that celebrate excellence at the School of Communication.

Previous years have included networking events with professionals in the communication and media industries, "Pizza and a Professor" meetings targeted toward different academic fields of study, opportunities to make connections with campus student organizations, highlights from the Environmental Film Festival, focus sessions on current events and issues, a special breakfast with the School of Communication dean, and much more!

All are welcome to participate and contribute. To plan an event, please submit the SOC Week Event Form and you will be contacted with a day, time, and room options.
